Let's move on. I'm sure those for whom it was intended received the message.

Yeah, I miss the pits too. But the shows I go to nowadays are not "me-friendly" - people moshing and windmilling and spinkicking at HC shows are fun to watch, but not to touch. Gee, you can even get your lights knocked out with a microphone flying on your forehead! Good place for some tough action.

Worst I've ever been to was one with a headlining band from MA, they always have friends lighting up firecrackers in the pit, so people kinda go insane and they ended up throwing a couch, car tires and glass bottles in the pit. Needless to say I got out of there quickly, I think a few people got hurt from the flying tires. Apparently that's nothing compared to their shows in the US. Crazy Americans!

What was the band's name? When I worked at a night club we usually had some sort of issues when Boston bands came out because they would bring these INSANE fans to the shows!
